Tony's right on this one, I hate the prick but his political radar works.
What the 'woke' left (thankfully) fails to understand is that you need to gain power first and then you can just do whatever.
Mark Rutte and Merkel never campaigned on any of the things they are doing now.
If Merkel had said she would accept millions of refugees and depend on Russia for energy no one but Putin would've voted for her.
It's simply a numbers game.
If Keir dies on the LGTBQ+ and Brexit referendum hill, then he will die there alone.
Except for a very small group of flagellating boomers who admittedly hold a lot of power, no one wants to be told they are bigots/racists/bad people or want to pay billions to save the climate.
However in general people do want a whole bunch of other things the left (used) to fight for like affordable housing, better wages and healthcare.
You don't need more evidence of this than people jumping on Blair for saying that Labour participation in the culture war worked against them politically and not that he's a war criminal.
Blair and Brown are the reasons that Boris is now PM of the UK and the 'woke' ideals are what will get him reelected.
